If applicable, the Burrowing Owl Plan shall describe proposed avoidance, relocation, monitoring, minimization, and/or mitigation actions. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall include the number and location of occupied burrow sites and details on proposed buffers if avoiding the burrowing owls or information on the adjacent or nearby suitable habitat available nearby for relocation, details regarding the creation and funding of artificial burrows (numbers, location, and type of burrows) and management activities for relocated owls shall also be included in the Burrowing Owl Plan. The City shall implement the Burrowing Owl Plan following CDFW review and approval. If vegetation removal or ground disturbance begins within 30 days of the focused survey, no pre-construction survey would be required. If vegetation removal or ground disturbance activities begin after 30 days of the focused survey, a subsequent pre-construction survey would be required.
MM BIO-1c: Nesting Birds. If trees or large shrubs (over 4 feet in height) will be removed during the nesting season (February 1 through August 31), a qualified biologist shall conduct a nesting bird survey no more than 30 days prior to any disturbance to identify any potential nesting activity. If passerine birds are found to be nesting, or there is evidence of nesting behavior within 250 feet of the impact area, the biologist shall determine an appropriate buffer that shall be required around the nests. No vegetation removal or ground disturbance would occur within this buffer. For raptor species – birds of prey (e.g., hawks and owls) – this buffer would generally be 500 feet. A qualified biologist shall monitor the nests closely until it is determined that the nests are no longer active, at which time construction activities may commence within the buffer area.
Construction activity may encroach into the buffer area at the discretion of the biological monitor.

initiation of construction, including those listed in this mitigation, State ESA permits, and/or Federal ESA permits. •Crotch’s bumble bee (Bombus crotchii) is listed as a candidate species under the California Endangered Species Act. According to CDFW, the Project site is within the geographic range for Crotch’s bumble bee. Additionally, the Streambed Alteration Agreement would require avoidance, minimization and/or
mitigation measures to protect fish and wildlife and their habitat. Therefore, to minimize impacts to Crotch’s bumble bee from the Project, a qualified biologist shall conduct focused surveys within one year prior to vegetation removal and/or grading for the presence/absence of Crotch’s bumble bee.
Surveys shall be conducted during flying season when species is most likely to be detected above ground, between March 1 to September 1, by an approved qualified biologist, familiar with Crotch’s bumble bee behavior and live history. Surveys shall be conducted within the Project site and areas adjacent to the Project site where suitable habitat exists. Survey results including negative findings shall be submitted to CDFW 30 days prior to Project-related vegetation removal and/or ground- disturbing activities. If the species is identified onsite, and if “take” would occur, the developer shall apply for an incidental take permit and obtain “take” coverage prior to the initiation of Project activities.

MM TRANS-8: Prior to the commencement of construction, the developer shall provide a Construction Traffic, Staging, and Parking Management Plan to the City of San Bernardino for review and approval. All construction contracts shall include a clause requiring compliance with the Construction Traffic, Staging, and Parking Management Plan and the developer shall be able to enforce the provisions of the plan through penalties, up to and including, termination of the contract. The plan shall include the following provisions:
•Construction truck traffic shall be limited to the following designated routes: Campus Parkway from the site and west of Northpark Boulevard to Kendall Drive, and Kendall Drive from Campus Parkway to Palm Avenue. Construction truck traffic shall be prohibited on all other roadways, unless compelling
circumstances warrant such movements (e.g., a major traffic accident).
•Signage shall be installed at construction truck ingress and egress points alerting motorists to such movements.
•Soil, debris, or other loose materials shall be covered with tarps or other restraining material during haul movements on
roadways.
•On-site and off-site construction staging and parking locations shall be identified, as well as any necessary shuttle service needed to transport workers from off-site locations. For safety reasons, off-site staging or parking shall not be allowed west of Northpark Boulevard or on the CSUSB Cal State San Bernardino campus.
•A pre-construction conference shall be held advising all construction contractors of the requirements of the
Construction Traffic, Staging, and Parking Management Plan.

COA TCR-1 Due to the heightened cultural sensitivity of the proposed project area, at the discretion of the consulting tribe(s), Tribal monitor(s) authorized to represent YSMN shall be present for all ground-disturbing activities that occur within the proposed project area (which includes, but is not limited to, tree/shrub removal and planting, clearing/grubbing, grading, excavation, trenching, compaction, fence/gate removal and installation, drainage and irrigation removal and installation, hardscape installation [benches, signage, boulders, walls, seat walls, fountains, etc.], and archaeological work). At the discretion of the consulting tribes, a sufficient number of Tribal monitors shall be present each workday to ensure that simultaneously occurring ground disturbing activities receive thorough levels of monitoring coverage. A Monitoring and Treatment Plan that is reflective of the project mitigation (“Cultural Resources” and “Tribal Cultural Resources”) shall be completed by the qualified SOI Archaeologist and submitted to the Lead Agency for dissemination to YSMN. Once all parties review and agree to the plan, it shall be adopted by the Lead Agency – the plan must be adopted prior to permitting for the project. Any and all findings will be subject to the protocol detailed within the Monitoring and Treatment Plan.

COA TCR-2 If a pre-contact cultural resource is discovered during project implementation, ground-disturbing activities shall be suspended 60 feet around the resource(s), and an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) physical demarcation/barrier constructed.
The SOI Project Archaeologist shall develop a research design that shall include a plan to evaluate the resource for significance under CEQA criteria. Representatives from YSMN, the Archaeologist, and the Lead Agency shall confer regarding the research design, as well as any testing efforts needed to delineate the resource boundary.
Following the completion of evaluation efforts, all parties shall confer regarding the resource's archaeological significance, its potential as a Tribal Cultural Resource (TCR), and avoidance (or other appropriate treatment) of the discovered resource.

It is the preference of YSMN that removed cultural material be reburied as close to the original find location as possible. However, should reburial within/near the original find location during project implementation not be feasible, then a reburial location for future reburial shall be decided upon by YSMN, the landowner, and the Lead Agency, and all finds shall be reburied within this location.
Additionally, in this case, reburial shall not occur until all ground- disturbing activities associated with the project have been completed, all monitoring has ceased, all cataloguing and basic recordation of cultural resources have been completed, and a final monitoring report has been issued to Lead Agency, CHRIS, and YSMN.
All reburials are subject to a reburial agreement that shall be developed between the landowner and YSMN outlining the
determined reburial process/location and shall include measures and provisions to protect the reburial area from any future impacts.
Should it occur that avoidance, preservation in place, and on-site reburial are not an option for treatment, the landowner shall relinquish all ownership and rights to this material and confer with YSMN to identify an American Association of Museums (AAM)- accredited facility within the County that can accession the materials into their permanent collections and provide for the proper care of these objects in accordance with the 1993 CA Curation Guidelines. A curation agreement with an appropriate qualified repository shall be developed between the landowner and museum that legally and physically transfers the collections and associated records to the facility. This agreement shall stipulate the payment of fees necessary for permanent curation of the collections and associated records and the obligation of the Project developer/applicant to pay for those fees.
All draft records/reports containing the significance and treatment findings and data recovery results shall be prepared by the archaeologist and submitted to the Lead Agency and YSMN for their review and comment. After approval from all parties, the final reports and site/isolate records are to be submitted to the local CHRIS Information Center, the Lead Agency, and YSMN.
